Pencil & Eraser ( Touching Story )

Found this story online and felt its really good! :) Enjoy!

Pencil & Eraser ( Touching Story ) 

Pencil: I'm sorry Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong. 

Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time. 

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. 

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad. All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.  

“We never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents.”

Happy Blessed Birthday to Yours truly! =)

Happy blessed birthday to me, Happy blessed birthday to me, Happy blessed birthday to myself, Happy blessed birthday to me!!

Hereby officially wanna commemorate myself breathing for 24years on planet earth. Wonderful yet dreadful. I wanna be 17 again!!

On this day, I wanna be thankful to my parents, for without them I wouldnt be on this planet earth, for without them I wouldnt be who I am today, for without them I wouldnt be able to sit in front of my lappy now and writing this post on my blog.

I love my beloved parents!! Thanks for coming together and bringing me into this world! =)

Alot to reflect back upon. Many sweet birthday celebrations and moments. Every year seem different. Celebrating with different friends, parties, clubbing, dinner, lunch, simple heartwarming get together to my family, surprises, etc.

This year its also going to be very different. No elaborated celebrations or parties. Just a simple dinner date arranged by BF later on at night, and a belated birthday dinner with my family when my bro is home some time later as we've all been really busy these days. And a couple of lunch and dinner treat from some close friend. Nothing more. I must say, for me, as each year passes, the number of friends celebrating with me and the presents really decreases...which is kinda saddening..but yet I know thats life, especially for me now since Im really busy with work and simple tooo tired to prepare anything.

Well, nonetheless, looking forward to dinner later on! And I hope work wouldnt be too stress for me later as well. Yea sad to say I would be working on my birthday!! Career comes first for me now, therefore no choice! Honestly I dont mind going to work cause I have my bunch of nice colleagues who would be making my day, but I pray really hard that nothing bad comes up, and pray that my boss wouldnt make my day bad!!

Anyway to those who had wished me "Happy Birthday", to those who had treated me to lunch or dinner, to those who had given me presents, I sincerely thank all of you from the bottom of my heart! Truly appreciate it! =) *hugs*

Thanks, 谢谢, 감사함니다 (kamsa-hamnida), ありがとう (arigato), terima-kasih, gam-sia!!  ♥

반말송 Banmal song ♥ (Song, Lyrics & Guitar Tab)

Super sweet love song, composed and sang by none other then 정용화 Jung Yong Hwa (C.N.Blue)

Totally addicted to this song and to him right now!!  ♥

맨처음 너를 보던 날
수줍기만 하던 너의 맑은 미소도
오늘이 지나면 가까워 질거야
매일 설레는 기대를 해

무슨 말을 건네 볼까
어떻게 하면 네가 웃어줄까
손을 건네보다 어색해질까봐
멋쩍은 웃음만 웃어봐

우리 서로 반말하는 사이가 되기를
아직 조금 서투르고 어색한데도
고마워요 라는 말투 대신
좀 더 친하게 말을 해줄래

우리 서로 반말하는 사이가 될거야
한걸음씩 천천히 다가와
이젠 내 두눈을 바라보며 말을 해줄래
널 사랑해

너와의 손을 잡던날
심장이 멈춘듯한 기분들에
무슨말 했는지 기억조차 안나
마냥 설레는 기분인걸

우리 서로 반말하는 사이가 되기를
아직 조금 서투르고 어색한데도
고마워요 라는 말투 대신
좀 더 친하게 말을 해줄래

우리 서로 반말하는 사이가 될거야
한걸음씩 천천히 다가와
이젠 내 두눈을 바라보며 말을 해줄래
널 사랑해

우리 서로 사랑하는 사이가 되기를
잡은 두손 영원히 놓지 않을꺼야
바라보는 너의 눈빛속에
행복한 미소만 있길 바래

우리 서로 사랑하는 사이가 될꺼야
아껴주고 편히 기대면 되
너를 보는 나의 두 눈빛이
말하고 있어
널 사랑해

TRANSLATION

The day when I first saw you

Your bright smile full of shyness

we’ll get closer after today

Every day, I have heart-fluttering expectations

What to say to you

How to get you to laugh

I fear it’ll get awkward when I try to hold your hand

All I can do is smile shyly

Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other

Even though it’s still awkward and unfamiliar

Instead of saying ‘thank you’

Talk to me in a friendlier way

Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other

You walk towards me slowly, step by step

Now look at my two eyes and tell me

I love you

The day when I held your hand

I felt my heart stop beating

I don’t even remember what I said

All I feel is a flutter in my stomach

Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other

Even though it’s still awkward and unfamiliar

Instead of saying ‘thank you’

Talk to me in a friendlier way

Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other

You walk towards me slowly, step by step

Now look at my two eyes and tell me

I love you

Hopefully we can fall in love with each other 

I’ll never let go of your two hands from my grasp 

The light of your eyes, gazing at me

I hope there will only be joyful smiles

We can probably fall in love with each other

We can lean on one another and take care of each other

Looking into your eyes, my two eyes

They’re talking to you

I love you

House Warming ♥

Been close to 3 months since we moved back home after the major renovation. Finally the house is more or less settled down and we manage to find time to organize an officially house warming session.

We organized 3 sessions, 1st session for our friends and colleagues, 2nd session for my dad's relatives, and 3rd session for my mum's relatives. 1st and 2nd session had been held, and the 3rd session would likely be held next week or the week after.

I shant write too much, and will let my photos do the talking. =)

(photos taken from the Canon EOS 60D! finally have the chance to play around with it!)

1st Session - Friends and Colleagues (4September2011)

my room and bro's room!

parent's room and the restroom!
